Uber is looking to recruit 3,200 new drivers in Manchester as demand soars.
Since the city has opened back up, trips through the app have grown by 15 per cent compared to before the pandemic.
The recruitment drive is part of a national effort to sign up a further 20,000 drivers as demand continues to ramp up following lockdown.

All Uber drivers are entitled to at least the National Living Wage but can earn more.
Drivers receive holiday pay and are automatically enrolled into a pension scheme, as well as a host of other benefits, Uber said.
Uber drivers also receive parental leave payments, sickness and injury cover and occupational accident cover.
Every Uber driver in the UK is also entitled to be represented by the GMB, the ride-hailing company added.
Ash Kebriti, general manager for the UK and Ireland, Uber, said: “As the UK has opened up, demand for Uber rides has soared, meaning that we need more drivers on the road.
"In Manchester, we’ve seen a 15 per cent increase in demand since before the lockdown as people go back to work, restaurants and bars.
"There’s not been a better time to sign up, especially as we’re the only operator to provide all drivers with holiday pay and, where eligible, enrolment in a pension scheme.”
